The terms of three members of tie
city council expire this month, viz:
Messrs r. W deLion, Il. K. Latimer
and A. Weymouth. We do not know
whether any of them desire to be re-
elected or not. Frank Bartlett is talked
of for either mayor or member of the
council. Mr.. W. II. b. Learned wonld
make an excellent member of the coun-
Gil, and we believe he would consent to
serve. Capt. deLien will probably
either be nominated for mayor or conn
Gilman. Col. Henry Lan6es has been
frequently and favorably mentioned for
mayor, but it is doubtful il he would
consent to the use of his name. He has
frequently been acting mayor while q
member of the council, and has excellent
executive ability. Mayor Smith seems
to have a fair prospect OF succeeding
himself, unless he declines reelection.
We hope to see matters arranged AMIGA
bly,, without contest, because the town
has been torn too much By in the past,
are no issues OF Importance at stake.
